TABLE 3Preparation of Testosterone Cypionate composition, 200 mg / mLIngredientsQty / mL% (w / v)Qty / 30 L batchTestosterone cypionate, USP  200 mg 20.%   6 kgBenzyl benzoate  224 mg22.4% 6.72 kgCotton seed oil542.2 mg54.2%16.27 kgBenzyl alcohol  20 mg  2% 0.6 kgTotal986.2 mg98.6%29.59 kg

[0051]Cotton seed oil and benzyl benzoate were added to the vessel and the mixture was heated to a temperature of about 40° C. to 60° C. Testosterone cypionate was added slowly, in lots, under stirring, for about 90 minutes, maintaining the solution temperature between about 40° C. to 60° C. The mixture was stirred for 60 minutes to ensure complete dissolution of testosterone cypionate. Benzyl alcohol was added slowly to the resultant solution at 40° C.-60° C., and continuously stirred for 30 minutes.

[0052]The above-obtained solution was cooled gradually to 23° C. over 3 hours. It was then filtered through a 0.22-micron PVDF filter into a buffer tank. The final solution was filled into USP Type I cle...

Testosterone cypionate was added to the above solution and stirred until the solution was clear. To this solution, benzyl alcohol was added, and stirred continuously for 10 minutes.[0062]3. The solution volume was made up to 100 mL with cotton seed oil which was stirred for 60 minutes.[0063]4. The bulk solution was filled into 10 mL tubular glass vials.

Abstract

The present invention provides stable pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of testosterone or a pharmaceutically acceptable ester thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable oil vehicle, and a stabilizing amount of benzyl alcohol, for example, about 1% to 3% weight / volume of benzyl alcohol. The present invention also provides a process for stabilizing testosterone-containing pharmaceutical compositions by ageing them at a temperature of about 20° C. to about 60° C. for at least 48 hours, e.g., prior to secondary packing and labeling. These compositions were stable over the shelf life of the product, without exhibiting crystal formation, even upon storing at temperatures of about 2° C. to about 8° C. Other aspects of the invention relate to methods for making such pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of using such pharmaceutical compositions for hormone replacement therapy, e.g., in a male patient having a condition associated with symptoms of deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims foreign priority to Indian Application No. IN 201841012805, filed on Apr. 4, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to injectable pharmaceutical compositions comprising testosterone or a pharmaceutically acceptable ester thereof, at least one pharmaceutically acceptable oil vehicle, and about 10 to 30 mg / mL benzyl alcohol. The present invention also provides a process for stabilizing testosterone containing pharmaceutical compositions by ageing them at a temperature range of 20-60° C. for at least 48 hours, prior to packaging and labeling. These pharmaceutical compositions are suitable for injectable administration (e.g., subcutaneous or intramuscular), and are stable over the shelf life of the product.[0003]Other aspects of the invention relate to methods for making such compositions, as well as methods of treatment using such compo...
